What will be at this event? Well, we're as clueless as you, but apparently it will be "exciting and no doubt Nintendo have some interesting things to show off," according to the Official Nintendo Magazine UK, who has an idea of what is happening and will be attending the London event on Thursday.

Will there be boatloads of "OMGZ MEGATONS?!?"? Probably not, but there will be some surprises (I hope) that will (hopefully) bring smiles to all of our (hopeful) faces (I hope). I mean, they can't possibly put off Sin and Punishment 2 anymore, can they? And we're bound to find something out about Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, right?

Maybe Reggie will look at us all and say "Zangeki no Americans-ever-legit-playing-it, suckas!" Of course, that'll be after The Last Story and Xenoblade get confirmed for a North American release. And Denis Dyack comes out alongside the reborn ashes of Factor 5 and the two announce Eternal Darkness 2 and a new Rogue Squadron. And then we're told Treasure is making a new Star Fox game, and HAL Labs is working on Kirby Wii, and Intelligent Systems is making Kid Icarus, and there will be a Wario Land: Shake It 2, and Nintendo is teaming up with Square Enix for Super Mario RPG 2: The Revenge of the Smithy Gang, and….and…

Or maybe it'll just be Wii Music 2 and a confirmation that Zelda Wii isn't coming out until 2011.

We Would like to be here and hopefully after the event we will have more info shed on the upcoming games that we have all been waiting for... Zelda, KIRBY, Star Fox, Star-wars ETC....

We'll be liveblogging the Nintendo Q1 2010 Media Summit press conference, so keep this page loaded and updates will magically appear below! We'll also attempt a live audio stream, so hopefully you'll be able to listen in as well (click the play button to your left once the conference begins). The usual two-day schedule has been compressed into one looong day. The fun starts at 9:00 A.M. Pacific.

So far, we know the following games will make an appearance: WarioWare D.I.Y., America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking, Pokémon HeartGold Version/SoulSilver Version, Tetris Party Deluxe (Wii and DS), Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and Rage of the Gladiator. Going by their summer Australian launch announcements, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M are likely to be there as well.

8:36:05: I'm here, waiting outside for the doors to open.

8:44:21: Starting up the audio stream so that you can listen to a bunch of journalists eat breakfast. Let me know how it's working for you.

10:09:52: Fished up the water monster onto dry land where it is weaker. The design is a crazy spiked armadillo thing with an angler fish face/light.

10:11:28: Monster ran away back to the water. The hunters have tracked it, and now it has all new attacks.

10:12:01: Weapons look like they are made of the monsters... massive with crazy spikes. They all have their own handling.

10:13:12: Monster (Gobel?) has buried itself in the sand. Weapons such as Lion's Bane and two others were designed by fans and chosen by the design team. Carving up the monsters, taking his whiskers, etc.

10:14:01: Sinister Saints, Tenebra are the other two community designed weapons. Demo over.

10:14:20: Cammie is back.

10:14:45: Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies from Square-Enix is being published by Nintendo.

10:15:09: Now talking about Club Nintendo surveys.

10:16:16: 10s of thousands of responses regarding award items. First is a set of original artwork Mario posters. Second is Game & Watch Collection 2 (already out in Japan). Third is Grill-Off with Ultra Hand! also released in Japan.

10:16:39: 10s of thousands of responses regarding award items. First is a set of original artwork Mario posters. Second is Game and Watch Collection 2 (already out in Japan). Third is Grill-Off with Ultra Hand! also released in Japan.

10:17:13: Doesn't sound like they've actually done much with the surveys to me.

10:17:35: Metroid: Other M.

10:18:37: Private enclosed areas here to play it totally immersively. Launches June 27th.
